Walther CCP

[A.J. Holst]

Saw one at SMKW for $299 nib

Seems awfully discounted.

Caught my attention when first released, the internet doesnt have any real follow up reviews, just the initial splash stuff.

Weird niche gun that never did anything?

The CCP had multiple issues from day one. From what I read on the Walther forum, it hasn't gotten much better. Some are OK, some not.

I fell in love with this gun when it was first announced. Sounded great on the surface, then I

started reading posts from owners, etc., that were discouraging ( that's being nice ).

Hence, the low price, maybe.......

Gave up on it & bought a PPS M2, 9mm. Really like it, no issues.

I think you made a good choice. My PPS M2 is a pretty accurate pistol, I can get a decent grip, and is not near as snappy as the G43.

The CCP is an Umarex made gun with Walther's name on it.  Not really a direct relationship to the PPQ and P99s.  Umarex makes all the crappy stuff in the Walther line like the P22.

The CCP was designed from the ground up. Problems were somewhat in design ( kinda out in left field ), but the early pics I saw from owners, was pee poor machining, fit, burrs, etc.

I used to be a machinist & the defects stood out like a sore thumb. Some of this has been corrected, I'm told, haven't seen any proof of that.

Also, basic disassembly for cleaning was a royal pain. Required a special tool ( provided ),

and some luck.

This is not something you would expect with Walther's name on it. I fell in love with this thing when I first heard about it, but man I got slapped backwards when the reviews started trickling out.  Gave up & bought the PPS M2, smart move, I think.

Maybe so, but I owned a P-22 for about two years and never had a failure that I recall. Except when kept trying to push the safety lever down instead of up. [emoji11]

I have one that was always pretty crappy. Finally wound up with a cracked slide. Walther did at least  make it good.

I've had one since fairly early on...in the 24K serial series. Never a problem, accurate, easy to rack & shoot. The take-down isn't a big deal once you get used to it. But it IS a bit of a niche gun, not for everyone. I do regularly CC mine...it's been very reliable.
